I realize this is beating a deceased horse, but apparently there's a market for that now. This is for those interested in transitioning from paper to the e-logbook and for anyone that has made the jump to the excel version of logbook, but wants to get to a better quality professional printing program.

I just converted from the airlinepilot e-logbook excel to the logbookPro in under an hour. They have an import wizard that lets you match column names to their variables, and it was relatively simple to get 2100 sorties worth of data imported.

Converting from the paper logbooks into just a straight excel spreadsheet (like the one posted on this website) was fairly easy with a lot of copy-paste maneuvers.

Or, if you're a rich airline pilot, and want to hand over money, they offer a $200 fee for taking your paper logbooks and manually inputting them for you.

For those that have a lot of spare time, but not so much money yet, the stepping stone approach of first to MS excel, then to logbookPro worked pretty easily.

The logbookPro also allows sync with iPad/iPod/iPhone via an iCloud that costs a nominal fee per month, but will also allow sync to your home PC. They have a free-trial version for 50 lines of data so you can try it first.
